C. BNYDC BACKGROUND
BNYDC is a not-for-profit corporation that serves as the real estate developer and property
manager of the Brooklyn Navy Yard (the “Yard”) on behalf of its owner, the City of New York (the
“City”). The 300-acre industrial park on the Brooklyn waterfront is home to over 500 businesses
employing more than 13,000 people and generates more than $2.5 billion per year in economic
impact for New York City. BNYDC’s mission is to fuel New York City’s economic vitality by
creating and preserving quality jobs, growing the City’s modern industrial sector and its
businesses, and connecting the local community with the economic opportunity and resources
of the Yard.
D. PROJECT BACKGROUND
i. PROJECT BACKGROUND
Since the mid-2000s, the Yard has undergone significant growth, fueled by the renovation of the
majority of the Yard’s historic buildings. One of these developments is the Admiral’s Row
complex, which opened in 2019. Comprised of a shopping complex, which includes Wegmans,
and 350,000 SF of Class A light industrial space in Buildings 303 and 212, it has developed into a
hub for advanced manufacturing at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. The 9th Floor of Building 303 is the
last remaining industrial space to fit-out in this complex.
Though the 9th Floor was initially intended for a single office user, in 2024 BNYDC secured
funding from the New York City Economic Development Corporation (“EDC”) to perform
subdivision, buildout, and fit-out work of the space in order for BNYDC to lease such space to
industrial and/or office tenants working in the innovation or life sciences industries, consistent
with the City’s efforts to grow New York City's green economy and innovative industries.
The lower four floors of Building 303 operate as a parking garage, supporting the Wegmans
supermarket in Building 212; floors 5 through 8 operate as subdivided light industrial spaces.
BNYDC is looking to emulate the use and layout of floors 5 through 8 for this new project to
subdivide the ninth floor, which is 40,000 SF.
ii. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Project is divided into two Phases: pre-construction and estimating services (Phase I), and
construction and post-construction services (Phase II), as described further below and in the
Scope of Services attached hereto as Exhibit G. The CM’s work in each phase will cover two parts
of the Project:
• Part A: Subdivision of the floor into eight (8) white box suites

Development Corporation 141 Flushing Ave, Suite 801

• Part B: Selective fit-out of one approximately 6,000 SF subdivided Advanced
Manufacturing Suite, which will comprise of an ISO 7 Clean Room, office space, support
spaces, and a pantry.
Please note that there might be additional fit-outs associated with this project depending on
funding availability.
As of July 2026, BNYDC has onboarded a designer for the entirety of the project, which was
procured over the past year. Please refer to Exhibit I for the schematic design of the Project.

that comprise the proposed joint venture must each complete a Data Form.) If the

Data Form that is not complete, the vendor will be notified by the agency and will be
given four (4) calendar days from receipt of notification to cure the specified
deficiencies and return a complete Data Form to the agency. Failure to do so will
result in a determination that the proposal is non-responsive. Receipt of notification
is defined as the day notice is e-mailed or faxed (if the vendor has provided an e-mail
address or fax number), or no later than five (5) days from the date of mailing or upon
delivery, if delivered.
